How to make fueling smoother?

5 gears plus neutral equals 6 do I win the trip?

I personally like the throttle abruptness. Reminds me I'm on a performance motorcycle. My dad always said his gold wing felt like it had a rubber band for a throttle cable.

Fred,
If you are leaned to max clearance in a twistie and begin to accelerate out, the abrupt torque and power is very difficult to control without breaking loose the rear tire. When in a big lean, lateral forces use up most of the available friction and it doesn't take much to overcome what remains. Throttle transition is critical.
Look up "the friction circle" for more poop.

I don't do a lot of knee dragging so not an issue for me

I have sent you another tune (after I found you email address from way back in 2015) see if that helps

Hey Guys!

Almost have 14,000kms on my Roadster and LOVING IT. Recently had some TORS put on earlier this year and made the bike even better!

I'm just curious as to if its possible to get smoother fueling at low speeds or when you are between giving gas and coasting. What I mean is that on previous bikes I've had, particulary ones with smaller displacement its not a big deal when the engine is a little jerky because it doesn't jerk or buck like the R3 Does at low speed with such a huge amount of torque. On my previous ride (M109R) we put a TRE on the bike to make low speed riding much, much smoother. I've noticed on my R3 that if I am trying to take a turn in 2nd gear, I have to be careful how much gas to give so that I don't break the rear tire loose, but it's very hard to do smoothly. The other example I can give is if you are in 2nd gear cruising with traffic it's a little jerky when you are at a higher RPM just between coasting and giving gas.

Other then that everything else seems great, as long as your revving the hell out of the bike its totally loving it.. it's just the slow speed stuff for fueling I am wondering about. It would be nice to be able to give tiny adjustments in the throttle but not have it buck heavily enough to worry about losing traction while in the middle of a turn

A 225 darkside wil fix the problem of the back wheel breaking loose.

It's not my knees so much that drag. It's..................... Oh I can't say that here

On a seperate note, I was wondering if you upgrade your Exhaust to TORS and the TORS tune, do you need to change your fueling octane? I was using the recommended 87 and just wondering if It needs to be changed up to a higher octane after the upgrades?

I have not but usually run the highest grade anyways
